We still think the pulley will be close but Andrew says it will clear.

Whipple S/C in a Soarer.
- Thread starter pwd
- Start date
The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
I am only set up for 8lbs to start, gotta to paddle before I can swim.
It is a 2.3 litre
Have had some issues, but have been too busy with work to sort out the problems.
First issue I had was a leaking rising rate fuel reg, it was leaking from a relief hole in side of reg, and of course Holley are saying that we fitted it wrong and I am at fault. Still trying to get some sense from them.
I purchased another reg, this time a Magna Fuel.
During the fitting of the S/C, I think I pinched an O ring on a fuel injector, the end result was one blew out and I had an engine fire, some damage was done to various parts and I have been replacing or repairing where needed.
The downside is the motor is running crap at the moment, when it is cold feels great, as it gets to running temp it starts to miss and backfire and I havent been able to find out why yet.
I have changed leads, had the injectors tested and cleaned, new plugs, tried another ECU , gone over the loom where it was fire damaged. Had to replace the battery and alternator, one cooked and the other died. My throttle position sensors where damaged as well, got and lend of a couple to try but they were different, so I dont know if that could cause some issues.
Now when I drive it to see whats happening the temp gauge does some weird things and the cat light has started coming on.
All I have left is to strip back the engine loom and see if there is some other damage in the loom that I may have missed earlier.
Once I get it running properly or maybe sooner to see if some issues can be sorted, I will put it on the dyno and see what happens.
I really want this going properly.
It is bolted to the top plate of the manifold first, then the plate is fitted to the lower part of the manifold, as in this very blurry pic.

Like Lew said, a few minor setbacks but nothing major.
After all it is a generic kit for multiple applications.
Does the inlet casting of the SC have a built in bypass valve or did you install a remote valve?
Separate by pass at the bottom of the air intake

What other mods are you running with the SC?
Bigger Injectors?
Bigger Fuel Pump?
Piggyback EMS?
Are you driving your SC with a separate serp belt?
For now standard injectors
stock fuel pump/ fitted a rising rate reg
stock ecu
single six rib

Gotta say though, with out putting the boot right in, it is a very responsive
ride.

Any updates on this awesome project?
I am contemplating the same thing myself. Did you have any issues with belt tension, vacuum leaks or anything else that others seem to have?
Have you done any monitoring of the engine yet to check the AFR? What was the fuel regulator you used?
Cheers
Matt.

Bummer mate, that's not cool.
If it was me I would disconnect the super charger and remove the rising rate reg and get the vehicle running stock again.
That will make it MUCH easier to diagnose problems. Sounds like you need to read the codes as well to see if anything is showing up.
Good luck.

Engine fire is terrible. Sorry to hear that. I was excited to see it run.

Sorry to hear about the fire. Does that pully clear the hood (bonet)?
Very nice, Andrew sat a 3.3 on mine while we were part way through fitting everything to mine to get some measurements for the air intake, love the size of it.
Have you checked fuel rail clearance where they go under the air intake, I had to modify mine a little bit.
Are you fitting this in a Celsior or something else?
What else have you done?
Do you intend going to the Toyota nationals at Dubbo at Easter?
Mine goes on the dyno on Friday, I will see then how well it is going. Or not.
